“.. Oh my dear friend, you whose voice called me towards my beautiful past, oh how I love you because you are young, you serve the idea, you understand the beauty of a life devoted completely to abstraction. Oh the devil you have done me, and the good of this devil. There is an atrocious page in my existence... I am not a woman. Neither love nor the family satisfies me. I don’t like the baby. I detest the household. I love all works of the human genius, I adore art the beauties of nature and of the heart. The beautiful, the beautiful in all such as love and such as life.”

Marianne von Werefkin (1860–1938) expressionist painter

Oh what a world my parents gave me
Always
Travelin' but not in love.Still I think I'm doin' fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline?

Beautiful on a New York Times.”
